| Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.), speaking on “MSNBC Live” on Jan. 16 said that “some of the southern areas have cultures that we have to overcome” when it comes to gun control. Rangel was asked by anchor Thomas Roberts whether new gun control measures passed in New York State should serve as models for other states: “If you’re proud of what New York has done, obviously there is not going to be any perfect policy or perfect law that everybody is going to agree on from both sides saying that this is key perfection

Comments: Wow. This hateful, incompetent, corrupt old man would be apoplectic if a Republican had even thought of uttering a statement like that about a certain segment of society. These people are no longer humorous, they are dangerous and show their true intentions every single day.

He is a tax fraud and a liar. Even I know that you CANNOT have any type of business in a rent controlled apt in NYC , and I have never lived there. and I also know you have to pay taxes on income from rental property. Obviously if you are elected to office the rules do not apply to you - the Rangel mandate. ( all my opinion ). The culture we have to overcome is the corruption of people elected to Government offices.

FTA: obviously there is not going to be any ... perfect law that everybody is going to agree on
Yeah, well, "shall not be infringed" is in fact a principle set by the Founders above law. Everybody had better agree on observing it.
And someone who swore to uphold it to take office had blasted better well do so.

Dear Charlie, I live in the south. I think thst most of the blue states have cultures that we have to overcome...and fast. Especially that thing where fools like you toss out the race card when you have nothing else to base your stupid accusations on.

Our rights were bestowed on us by our Creator. The government has NO right to take them away. Contrary to what many believe, Obama is NOT God.

He better watch what he says about those "gentle southerners". They are good people but they will not be roughshod run over by Rangel. He needs to clean his own backyard before coming down on others.

My take on history is that the bill of rights was written partly in order to keep the Southern states a part of the union. If any one of those first ten amendments is no longer upheld, then there is nothing else in the Constitution to keep the south as part of the union.

Charlie ol´ boy - here´s a tip for you...
I grew up in Manhattan - Upper East Side. By sheer luck, my Mother was from SC. I noticed *very* quickly after getting out of college, a person could live *very* well in the South for pennies on the dollar compared to NY city - and in a *far* safer environment.
You´re welcome to your Harlem hell-hole. I watched no end of ´social experiments´ fail to lift that area out of the danger zone, and visits back to the city confirm it´s worse now by far than when I left.
Tell ya´ what, Charlie...ya´ll come on down for a visit. We promise all the cornbread you can eat, and doubtful anyone would bust a cap on you simply for being black.
The South has the quality of life you bozos only dream of up there in your 200 square foot, $1000 a month taxpayer subsidized ghettos.

“some of the southern areas have cultures that we have to overcome” OK Charlie, it is time to have a conversation about "culture". In fact, it is long overdue. Exactly WHAT has YOUR culture of corruption and welfare done for America? You insist on being called African-American, so please tell me WHAT the contributions to the betterment of World culture has the continent of Africa produced. Single women giving birth over and over with different fathers, insisting that we owe them something, students who drop out of school at sickening rates, uneducated, non-parented wolf cubs who prey on law abiding society..all of them with their hands out..if you think you and your democrat friends are going to attack the Southern "culture" you should just shut up and go away now. Folks, this is the Obama plan..to make the normal people appear extreme..fight back now!

"Southern culture to overcome?" Sounds like Chollie is using his racist dog whistle again. Southern whites = guns.
How would Chollie react if I spoke about "watermelon and fried chicken eating culture"? Or "No Dad culture"? Or "Welfare Queen culture"? Yeah, I think he´d bust a vein, rushing out to call me a racist. Yet, what is he?

When he walks through the crowds, people rush away from him like a crocodile or something. He is absolutely disgusting and he wants to change our culture. I´ll take TN culture over NY anytime.

Seriouisly, change ´´southern areas´´ to ´´Poland and Austria´´, and tell me this doesn´t sound like the ramblings of the Third Reich in about 1938 or so.
Sorry, Charlie, but we in the ´´southern areas´´ won´t be blitzkrieged quite as easily as Poland was, and we sure as heaven won´t just bend over and take it like Austria did!!!!!

I just hope this criminal lives long enough to encounter a Republican who isn´t dirty, that will do a punishing audit on his ´finances.´ Start by flipping the parasites that benefited from his blatant corruption and work your way into this mess. Of course the IRS in general would have to be adjusted and I don´t see a Republican reformer anywhere with the moxie to do what has to be done. Perhaps his criminal associates will end up turning on him. It´s a long shot, but stranger things have happened.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Several days ago some fringe “conservatives” mentioned the idea of impeaching President Obama. For reasons as obvious as they are numerous, that is a terrible idea. Saying that is like throwing chum out to the worst conservatives, the ones who act like liberals, the ones who are all angry instinct, who rather than strategize their way to victory would rather sweep the pieces off the table and throw a tantrum on the floor. Serious and effective conservatism demands putting facts and reason above emotion and hysteria. Some comments concerning potential impeachment are so

Sen. Harry Reid said Wednesday that he will push to confirm more judges to the federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., after that court ruled earlier this year that President Obama’s broad use of recess appointment powers was unconstitutional. “You have a majority in that court that is wrecking havoc in the country. For the first time in 230 years, they ruled the president can’t make a recess appointment, so yes there is a crisis,” Mr. Reid, the chamber’s leader, said on the Senate floor as he begged for quick action on more of the president’s judicial nominees.

Mayor Bloomberg went on a spitting-mad rant against a city cab-fleet boss who won a court victory over Hizzoner’s planned “Taxi of Tomorrow” — vowing to “destroy your f--king industry” when he leaves office, The Post has learned. A fuming Bloomberg made the threat against Taxi Club Management CEO Gene Freidman at Madison Square Garden’s private 1879 Club during last Thursday’s Knick playoff game, a witness said yesterday. “It was like Gene had kidnapped his child. He used the f-word twice,” the witness said. Freidman confirmed the blow-up to The Post, and said Bloomberg’s tirade included the warning that,

According to Republican Rep. Jim Jordan and White House visitor logs, former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman visited the White House 118 times in 2010 and 2011. This is the same time period when Tea Party groups were inappropriately targeted and intimidated by the IRS. Testifying in front of lawmakers on Capitol Hill Wednesday, Shulman admitted that many of the meetings with the White House were to discuss how to implement ObamaCare. "The IRS has a major roll in the money flow," Shulman said. Shulman denied ever discussing 501c(4) groups with White House officials

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.
